Adjo [Goodbye] Sweden

December 1, 2014 – San Francisco, CA - Thinking of taking a vacation to Sweden? What comes to mind, national parks, archipelagoes and a fascinating culture? Perhaps you visualize a society that is just, tolerant, welcoming and friendly. The travel brochures suggest Stockholm and Malmo, among other places, as cities to include on your itinerary.

Suggestion: don't.

A dark force is at work in Sweden as it is generally throughout Europe - unregulated Muslim immigration.

People of the Islamic faith now constitute 5% of the Swedish population, seemingly a small number. What the travel brochures and the legacy media will not tell you is that the cultural effect produced by what seems to be an insignificant minority has nonetheless been sufficient to push Sweden, among all the Western nations, the farthest down the road towards dhimmitude - the classic status of a thoroughly defeated and humiliated enemy living under Islamic dominance and subject to paying the jizya, the tribute tax, assuming u wish to keep your head attached.

With only an unfurled white flag lacking, it's difficult to imagine that these people and their fellow Scandinavians were once the ferocious Vikings who, over the span of four hundred years, terrorized parts of Europe, plundered, explored and colonized far and wide.

Is CAIR A Terror Group?

November 30, 2014 – San Francisco, CA – PipeLineNews.org – We who follow the Islamist movement fell off our collective chair on Nov. 15 when the news came that the United Arab Emirates' ministerial cabinet had listed the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as one of 83 proscribed terrorist organizations, up there with the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS.

This came as a surprise because the UAE authorities themselves have a record of promoting Islamism; because CAIR has a history of raising funds in the UAE; and because the UAE embassy in Washington had previously praised CAIR.

On reflection, however, the listing makes sense for, in recent years, the Islamist movement has gravely fractured. Sunnis fight Shi'is; advocates of violence struggle against those working within the system; modernizers do battle against those trying to return to the seventh century; and monarchists confront republicans.

This last divide concerns us here. After decades of working closely with the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and its related institutions, the Persian Gulf monarchies (with the single, striking exception of Qatar) have come to see the MB complex of institutions as a threat to their existence. The Saudi, Emirati, Kuwaiti, and Bahraini rulers now view politicians like Mohamed Morsi of Egypt as their enemies, as they do Hamas and its progeny – including CAIR…

Rosh Yehudi was created 15 years ago with the intention of helping to rekindle the faith of secular Jews.

Numerous other terrorist related events pock-marked the day in Israel, the most significant of which involved Israeli intel/security forces foiling a plot my HAMAS to attack a sports stadium among other potential targets. It’s believed that the plot was run from inside Turkey. At least 30 suspects were taken into custody as well as bomb making material and weapons [source, ibid]

Israel, In Need Of A National Couch – High Court Halts Demolition Of Terrorists’ Homes

November 26, 2014 – San Francisco, CA – PipeLineNews.org – Evidence of the rotting of Western Culture can be found nearly everywhere; in the United States’ refusal to control its borders or re-establish the rule of law, Sweden’s buckling to the demands of a lunatic Muslim minority, France’s acceptance of no-go areas, festering Islamic neighborhoods, Britain’s failure to stop the constant calls to jihad which come from the country’s mosques as well as its recognition of over 100 Shari’a courts…

But this sickness, the unwillingness of West to defend itself against predation, especially that of the Muslim world, has circled back on itself in a manner that defies belief.

In less than 6 months the Jewish state has been forced to fight a defensive war against HAMAS/Fatah after it had launched over 400 rocket attacks on the country from its safe haven in Gaza. Over the last month these same terrorists have waged a brutal wave of “lone wolf” murders against Israeli civilians which have killed over ten people including a 3 month old baby.

Naturally, the entire country has been traumatized.

The response so far has been tepid; a few of these terrorists have been killed in gun battles and a few dozen have been detained for questioning. The most extreme policy the Netanyahu government has undertaken has been the demolition of some of the terrorists’ homes.

But even that rather mild remedy has now been halted by Israel’s notoriously out-of-control - Supreme Court, which has granted an injunction against the practice, of course in response to a lawsuit by Arab plaintiffs.

“The High Court on Wednesday kiboshed government plans to demolish the homes of terrorists. One of the few methods security forces in Israel have to discourage Arabs from joining the ranks of terrorists – demolishing the homes of those involved in terrorism – was taken off the table as the result of a lawsuit by an Arab rights group.

Israel Taking Measured Steps As It Ramps Up Retaliation In Response To Arab's Jihad

November 19, 2014 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org – In what must certainly be the most risible statement coming out of the HAMAS/Fatah/Palestinian Authority over the last few days, the “Voice of Palestine” broadcast the following from Gen. Adnan Damiri, one of the unity government’s talking heads.

This is typical with the so-called “Palestinian Resistance,” who indiscriminately and savagely murder innocent women and babies. If anything can be gleaned from this it’s that the Arabic jihadists are incapable of seeking peace. With every statement they reveal that these Islamic fanatics can’t be reasoned with.

Lest one think these atrocities are being caused by “just a few radicals,” the sight of Gazan women dancing and eating cookies after their co-religionists hacked 4 Jews to death while they were praying should serve to correct that misimpression. [Note: The lead image is an HAMAS "cartoon." The Jew hatred is obvious and the caption reads, "Where Are They? We sourced the translation from VocaTiv]

After yesterday’s mass arrest of the family of the Har Nof killers, Uday and Rassan Abu Jamal, today PM Netanyahu announced that his government had demolished one of the terrorists homes.

“This morning we demolished the home of a terrorist — this is a significant and important step, and there will be more home demolitions, there will be many more steps…” [source, ibid]

Additionally Israel is refusing to release the bodies of the two cousins who so viciously undertook the Tuesday morning attack.

November 18, 2014 – San Francisco, CA – PipeLineNews.org – On Tuesday morning, two Arab terrorists attacked a synagogue in Har Nof, an Orthodox section of West Jerusalem as they said their morning prayers. The rampage left 5 dead including a rabbi Three of the five were dual Israeli/American citizens.

Wielding axes and a gun, the barbarous act was committed by cousins, Uday and Rassan Abu Jamal who reportedly worked in close proximity to the house of worship. Both of them were shot dead at the scene by first responders.

More than a dozen family members of the killers were promptly arrested and their homes dynamited.

In the West Bank city of Rafah, a long-time terrorist stronghold, supporters rejoiced, hearing of the carnage while members of HAMAS passed out candy.

In an off the cuff response during a press conference dealing with Ebola, Obama said:

“Tragically this is not the first loss of life that we have seen in recent months; too many Israelis have died too many Palestinians have died. And at this difficult time it’s important for Palestinians and Israelis to work together to lower tensions…”

This is just the latest example of Mr. Obama’s indefensible dissembling and moral relativism when it comes to Muslim terrorism. The Israelis are entirely blameless for the horrific violence which has befallen the Jewish nation over the preceding months. The guilt rests squarely on the Arabic population which rejoices with each new atrocity.

Third Intifada? No, It's War - Abbas, Obama And The Media Are Complicit

By WILLIAM MAYER

November 17, 2014 – San Francisco, CA – PipelLineNews.org – In the short span of 30 days, six Israeli civilians, including a 3 month old baby girl, have been killed by the jihadist squatters currently occupying Judea and Samaria, what some refer to as Palestine.

In any country an outbreak of violence on this scale would be major news, however in a tiny country under siege by its Muslim neighbors it’s hard to overstate the effect. This apparently is not the case with many in the U.S. media, most prominently the New York Times.

The matter is presented as if it was an unprovoked attack, a murder. Later in the piece there is the implication that Israeli Jews were responsible for a fire-bomb attack on a mosque. That a synagogue was attacked in a similar manner is mentioned in succeeding paragraphs, but one might guess that few saw it considering the foregoing.

In reading the piece, one gets the impression that it could easily be mistaken for propaganda written by Fatah or HAMAS. This is typical of the legacy media generally and the Times in particular. It’s agendized journo of the worst type, pouring gasoline on an already raging fire:

“The timing of the fire, after a series of deadly vehicular assaults and stabbing attacks by Palestinians against Israelis in recent days, added to suspicions that it was a revenge attack. Jewish extremists have long engaged in what are known as “price tag” operations, so named to exact a price for violence by Palestinians or Israeli actions against the unauthorized building of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. The police are also investigating the firebombing of a synagogue in Shefaram, an Arab town in northern Israel.”

Dutch Member Of Parliament, Geert Wilders’ Copenhagen Speech

November 17, 2014 – San Francisco, CA – PipeLineNews.org – What follows is a remarkable speech delivered by Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch Parliament. First though, it’s necessary to provide some context so that the reader can understand the conditions under which he labors.

Wilders has, almost singlehandedly, changed the political landscape of the Netherlands, a country which is under siege by its Muslim minority. As is the case with many European countries and, here in the United States in cities like Dearborn [aka Dearbornistan], aggressive Islamism is on constant display.

Throughout the country, areas with high concentrations of Muslims have become battle zones and unlivable for citizens who aren’t of that fait. The Muslims in these areas refuse to learn Dutch, accept the culture, social norms and mores of the country which was so kind as to allow them to immigrate from Third World cesspools. They simply refuse to acculturate.

The Muslims have repaid this beneficence with a level of criminality that is outrageously out of proportion to their numbers. Especially of concern is violent criminal behavior, especially rape. Known for its libertine attitudes about sexuality, prostitution is legal, but now Muslim gangs have infiltrated into the legal sex trade and are driving girls as young as 11 and 12 into this violent, degrading lifestyle. Often this happens under the aegis of what are called “lover boys,” Muslim men who are adept at wooing young women and girls, plying them with drugs, gang raping them and to complete the process, taking pictures so that they can be blackmailed.

Dutch Jews are often targeted by Muslim gangs and many fear for their lives. Conditions have deteriorated so much that their fellow Netherlanders are advising them to leave the country for their own safety.

Alarmed by this development, about ten years ago Wilders formed the Party for Freedom to restore Dutch traditionalism. According to public opinion surveys the new party has become the most popular in the country.

For telling the truth, Mr. Wilders has paid a very heavy price, for example being prosecuted for hate-speech because of his criticism of Islam. He and his family have been forced to live a life on the run, sheltering in abandoned army barracks, jails and safe houses. He is under 24 hr guard because of the numerous threats on his life.

Obama Outed As Two-Faced By “Negotiating Partner” Iran

November 13, 2014 – San Francisco, CA – PipeLineNews.org – It’s no longer news - since it was revealed about a week ago - that President Obama has been engaged in a secret letter writing campaign between himself and Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. This is occurring as the deadline approaches on the public nuke negotiations between Tehran and the so-called P5+1 nations.

In the communication, Obama also suggested other areas in which the U.S. and Iran can “cooperate,” such as the threat posed by ISIS. The latter despite the fact that ISIS, a revolutionary Sunni jihadist group, currently represents a more serious threat to Iran than it does the United States, though it certainly has America in the crosshairs of its long-term goals.

How lessening the pressure on Iran’s weapons of mass destruction program while simultaneously removing a serious military threat across its border improves our diplomatic leverage against the rogue nation is difficult to comprehend.

“A secret letter sent by Barack Obama to Iran’s religious and political leader suggested that diplomacy between the two adversaries over the nuclear issue might presage a broader rapprochement, despite the Obama administration’s denials. The letter, penned in October and sent to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reportedly referenced a shared interest between the US and Iran in combating Islamic State (Isis) militants in Iraq and Syria.” [source, Obama pens secret letter to Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei as nuclear deadline looms , UK Guardian]

It’s generally felt that Obama’s approach to the talks has been weak and that the measures suggested will, at best only temporarily slow down, Iran’s relentless push to develop nuclear weapons. Indeed, many experts examining the process believe that Team O’s negotiating posture and proposals are alarmingly weak, designed more for purposes of public consumption rather than to deal head-on with the grave threat a nuclear Iran would present.

While the WH concentrates on creating positive press in an area which it has been alarmingly weak, Iran’s leaders have stepped up its campaign of Jew-hatred, once again threatening Israel with annihilation.

Episcopalians Host Radical Muslim Groups At National Cathedral Event

November 12, 2014 – San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - The Episcopal church will be hosting a Friday Muslim prayer service on November 14 at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. In attendance will be two notorious Islamist groups, the Council on American Islamic Realtions [CAIR] and the Islamic Society of North America [ISNA].

As detailed on internationally respected terrorism expert Steven Emerson’s website, The Investigative Project on Terrorism, “Federal District Court Judge Jorge Solis in a 2009 decision stated: "The government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR, ISNA, NAIT, with NAIT, the Islamic Association for Palestine, and with Hamas," U.S. District Court Judge Jorge Solis said in the July 1, 2009, ruling.." [source, Federal Judge Agrees: CAIR Tied to Hamas, Investigative Project on Terrorism]

The Episcopal church in countenancing this event, aside from it being an act of abject dhimmitude, is granting some of the worst players in the American Muslim community a very much undeserved mantle of legitimacy.

We would highly encourage the leaders of the Episcopal church, which already is seen by many as heterodox and post-Christian, to reconsider this noxious dog and pony show.

Tolerance, absent judgment leads to a toxic moral relativism which threatens Western Civilization and the religious freedom which forms an essential part of its foundation.

Obama, GW Bush, WMDs And CDC’s Response To Ebola

U.S. Wide Open For Asymmetrical Warfare On A Horrific Scale

By WILLIAM MAYER

November 10, 2014 – San Francisco, CA – PipeLineNews.org – There is no more important job for the President of the United States than that of defending and protecting the security of its citizens against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Over a period spanning nearly seventy years the ultimate deterrent which prevented attacks on the United States by hostile nations has been its nuclear arsenal; the triad, thousands of atomic weapons on a variety of platforms and deployed in a segmented array including weapons delivered via stealth bombers, silo based intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine launched as well as surface ship launched ballistic missiles

The operative theory is that an attack on the U.S. homeland or any of its allies would be met with the total, overwhelming and certain annihilation of the attacking power. Supplementing this was the proviso that if conditions deemed it necessary the United States might strike first, rather than absorb the first wave of an attack and then respond.

At the time, this system of Mutual Assured Destruction [acronym, MAD] wasn't guided by the modern notion of “proportionality.” If a foreign power recklessly stuck America, it wouldn't just “be taught a lesson” it would largely and indiscriminately be incinerated with no distinction made between military and civilian targets.

The idea might be thought of as the ultimate embodiment of Theodore Roosevelt’s aphorism, “walk softly and carry a big stick.”

Another Day, Another Terrorist Car Attack In Jerusalem

November 5, 2014 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org – In the second such attack in less than two weeks, today a “Palestinian” Islamic jihadist killed at least one person and injured more than a dozen others as he drove a car into a train platform in East Jerusalem which was clogged with commuters.

In mid October a similar vehicle assault left two dead, one of which was a baby girl.

Fox News is reporting that HAMAS, the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist entity sworn to genocide against the Jews, has expressed support for this indiscriminate act of terrorism against civilians.

There has been increasing unrest in the Old City of Jerusalem where the Temple Mount site is located, as Muslim express their outrage over any Jewish presence.

This despite the fact that Jewish claims to the site - the most sacred in Judaism - predates that of the Muslims by over a thousand years, dating back to the era of King Solomon.

“Muslim worshippers view Jewish prayer at the site as a provocation, and Israeli authorities place tough restrictions on it. Everyone visiting the area from the Israeli side has to be screened by police…” [source, ibid]

Though Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu is laying blame for the escalating tensions at the feet of the Palestinian Authority and HAMAS, Jordan has also been stirring the pot of incitement by withdrawing the country’s ambassador.

Many Jihadists, War Criminals, Anti-Semites And Rapists Among Muslim and African Refugees

By EMERSON VERMAAT

November 4, 2014 – San Francisco, CA- PipeLineNews.org - The usually well informed German newspaper “Bild” reported on October 5, 2014, that Western security services believe that terrorists from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS, ISIL or IS) are currently infiltrating Europe by pretending to be asylum seekers. It is “a perfidious terror plan,” Bild writes. Hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees entered Turkey last month. Western security services believe that special ISIS terror commandos consisting of four men each have crossed the Syrian-Turkish border. From Turkey these terrorist commandos are traveling to European countries using forged passports and claiming to be refugees. They plan to carry out terrorist attacks in Europe, notably in Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Belgium.

Bild claims that U.S. intelligence services managed to break the secret communication codes of the ISIS-leadership. From intercepted ISIS communications American intelligence services learned that these terrorists do not want to travel to Western Europe by plane because of usually tight security checks at airports. Bild writes that “German authorities are also quite familiar with this scenario.” This refers to the German secret service, the “Bundesnachrichtendienst” (BND) and the German domestic security service, the “Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz” (BfV). The BND closely cooperates with the CIA and the NSA. The BND recently briefed the German parliament on the nefarious role that the Russians played in the shooting down of a Malaysian civilian airliner over rebel-held territory in eastern Ukraine.

Bild quotes a source from the German Interior Ministry who says that “jihadist terrorism is once again focusing on Germany.” This poses a high threat to German security “which at any time can result in (terrorist) attacks that vary in size and intensity.” In view of the chaotic situation at the Syrian-Turkish border, it is virtually impossible to detect ISIS-terrorists among the refugees flooding into Turkey, Bild writes. Terrorist experts believe that ISIS wants to expand its war to Europe. Guido Steinberg, for example, writes that German security and intelligence services are not as capable as the U.S. services. They fail to effectively penetrate the ever growing movement of militant Salafists in Germany. Steinberg recently published a highly alarming book on “Al-Qaida’s deutsche Kämpfer” (Al-Qaeda’s German Warriors). Steinberg writes that five German jihadists were involved in suicide attacks in Iraq in July and August 2014. Terrorists from Europe and the United States are well trained in the nearly forty jihadist training camps in Iraq and Syria. A number of them will return to Europe and the U.S. to stage terrorist attacks there. A number of non-European terrorists will enter Europe as so-called asylum seekers.

It is not the first time that Muslim terrorists abused the asylum system. I still remember a Dutch intelligence report from the late 1990s which claimed that Egyptian, Tunisian and Algerian terrorists applied for asylum in Holland. “The number of radical Muslims increases thanks to the asylum channel,” the Dutch Security Service (BVD) warned back in 1998.

Morton Storm’s interesting book “Inside Al-Qaeda” reveals a lot about the tactics used by dangerous terrorists who enter Europe as so-called asylum seekers. Storm, a Danish and American agent, infiltrated Al-Qaeda himself and was on very close terms with Anwar Al-Awlaki, the editor of Al-Qaeda’s online journal “Inspire” and an extremely dangerous terrorist involved in many terror plots. Awlaki was born in the United States where he radicalized. His parents were Yemenese immigrants. Awlaki frequently visited prostitutes. He later settled in Yemen.
